Denial
Our focus this week — Aug 6-12: “Wait and See”
Today’s MotD: Denial. Sometimes (and in some cases often) we allow ourselves to be in denial about a situation, about a person, or about ourselves (it’s usually the last one)…mainly because we don’t want to face whatever it is.
This turns into a different “wait and see”. In these cases we tend to suppress what wants to be made known thinking that maybe we can avoid whatever it is a little while longer. Eventually the situation or pain becomes unbearable enough that we come out of denial and take care of what needs to be taken care of.
Our challenge becomes avoiding berating ourselves when we do eventually gain some clarity about the situation, person, or ourselves. Instead, we are encouraged to be gentle with ourselves for allowing ourselves to face it, understand it, and eventually heal it.
I know of a couple of inner stuff things that I’ve been putting on the back burner. I want to say I’m not in denial about them. It’s not so much the “things” I’m in denial about…it’s about being in denial about how stuffing them is not hurting me.
How about you ? What are you in denial about ? Why do you think that is ? What’s one step you can take towards facing it ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
